don't think so, I know the vessel was called AIR up until about Oct last year, then it was sold and is now called ICE, the old owner used to own another superyacht called secret love, I think ICE was at the Barcelona boat show last year.....
I think most yachts of this size are custom, the people who have enough money to spend on boats this size generally have enough to go the whole hog and make it their own

It looks about as much fun to sail aboard as a ferry. What's the point?

I saw a superyacht in Cascais in 2003. I think it was called something like "Big Al".
After a few days, where the crew were obviously stocking up in readiness for the owner, Big Al arrived, fat, not too tall, and a bit thin on top, but with 3 or 4 cute young women on his arms.

Yeah, but you get a similar phenomenon as the owner of a Contessa, her lines are SO irresistible, only the girls don't demand payment. And the poor booby could have bought a 32' for a fraction of the cost of his floating block of flats! Makes me want to weep (on his behalf, but not much).
Saw this down here in New Zealand last xmas apparently it belons to a Russian Billionaire, down worry about it not being fun as there are plenty of toys on board, (for when you get there), including a sailboat or 2 and those bikini clad toys as well!
